How to download a 5 hour update on Dialup ISP

[bapday]

I am unable to update my Office 2003 as it takes more than 120 minutes. My
ISP (Flexi-surf) turns off after 120 minutes and all is lost. Is it possible
to supply a
CD Rom with the update?

Hi Brian,

Outside of the U.S. the local MS subsidiaries determine how/if they'll support distribution of CDs for product updates. You may
want to phone or email the U.K. Microsoft center from the information on this page to see what the current status is.

Let us know what you find out.

Doesn't the BITS transfer "save" the downloaded part, and adds to it as
it goes? I know it does that for the windows updates, but does it do so
for the office updates?

Thank you Bob for your response. I followed your advice, but was informed
that the CD service only applies to the USA and Canada. Once again thank
you. Brian.
